Making Recruiting Great Again

Also, I believe a CVN XO tour is 2 years while a CO is roughly 3 (give or take) so there has to be some sort of filtering process along the way, whether the XO isn't screened or simply doesn't want to command a CVN.

It's a bit more than tentative. I've always understood a slate to be Big Navy's intent to send an individual to a specific, board-selected job. IMO it resides somewhere between verbals and written orders. Obviously, sometimes shit happens with people at all levels. The slate isn't a suicide pact.

- The slating has for the COs has to consider a number of factors to include refresher training at Naval Reactors, Naval Reactors directed tour lengths for CVN COs, very specific turnover requirements, 30 year statutory retirement requirements, Flag board timeline for the member, and the member may be locked into joint billet (22months +1 day minimum). This is where you can get a 18-24 month name of a PCO.
